THE HONESTPET DIFFERENCE
Buying a puppy online takes trust. Here's what you can count on when you work with us.
A Dachshund decides in its first eight weeks what deserves a bark, so those weeks should happen in a home. Our breeders raise litters in their kitchens and living rooms, around kids, the doorbell, and the dishwasher, so your puppy arrives ready for a Midtown high-rise, a Marietta cul-de-sac, or a screened porch in Macon without sounding the alarm at every footstep.
Our breeders begin Early Neurological Stimulation when puppies are three days old and follow Puppy Culture practices until they’re ready to join their new families. Short, gentle daily handling helps puppies become more comfortable with new experiences as they grow.
Most of our puppies’ parents are DNA tested. Each puppy’s listing identifies the DNA testing status of both mom and dad, so you can review this information before choosing your puppy.
Smooth, longhaired, or wirehaired, we'll point you to the puppy that fits your life, not the one that photographed best. A calm pup for a Buckhead condo, a bolder one for a Peachtree City family that goes everywhere by golf cart and has a yard full of chipmunks.
Every puppy comes with a 10-year genetic health guarantee and a digital copy of their vet and vaccine records.
Message our Care360 Team at 10 weeks or 10 years. We stay in touch with our families for the life of the dog.
STATEWIDE DELIVERY
Every HonestPet Dachshund comes from a vetted breeder who raises puppies at home, never a pet store or a broker. Georgia families choose free ground delivery to the door or a flight nanny who carries the puppy in the cabin to a nearby airport, and from June through September every handoff is timed around the heat.

ABOUT THE BREED
A Miniature Dachshund is 11 pounds or less of nerve, nose, and devotion. Bred to chase badgers underground, they're brave, curious, stubborn, and glued to their people, and they take a long Georgia summer in stride as long as the air conditioning is on. Smooth coats handle the humidity best; longhaired and wirehaired pups do well with a summer trim and a rinse after pollen season.
Our Miniature Dachshunds finish between 8 and 11 pounds. That's under the pet cap in any Atlanta apartment or Georgia HOA, small enough for a golf cart basket in Peachtree City, and light enough to carry across a hot parking lot, which you'll want to do in August.
Smooth, longhaired, and wirehaired Dachshunds each have different grooming needs. All shed; choose a coat you can care for rather than expecting a hypoallergenic dog.
Dachshunds can be affectionate family companions. Supervise play with children, teach gentle handling, and support their chest and hindquarters when lifting them to protect their long backs.
Smart and independent, Dachshunds do best with short, consistent training sessions and positive reinforcement. Start early with potty routines and calm responses to hallway noises.
A Mini Dachshund needs two short walks and a good sniff, not a run. In summer, go early and late, since a dog this low rides inches above hot pavement. Two Georgia notes: in spring, that yellow pine pollen coats a low dog from nose to tail, so rinse after walks, and in warm months keep them out of leaf piles and woodpiles, where copperheads like to rest and a Dachshund likes to nose around.
Dachshunds bond closely with their people and enjoy being part of daily life. Build up time alone gradually, and arrange care and walks when you will be away for long stretches.

Your puppy arrives as early as 8 weeks old with their digital records, a starter bag of food, and a blanket that smells like their littermates.
GETTING YOUR PUPPY HOME
Most Georgia families take free ground delivery straight to the front door. If you'd rather fly, a flight nanny can bring your Dachshund in the cabin to one of five Georgia airports, carrier under the seat. Either way, our team confirms the date, times summer arrivals for morning or evening, and sends updates until the puppy is home.
Ground delivery suits Dachshunds. They're den dogs, so a snug crate in an air-conditioned vehicle is where they want to be, and they'll sleep most of the way down I-75 with a few shaded water-and-potty stops. Puppies arrive at your door, not an airport curb.
Prefer to meet first? When the breeder's location and schedule line up, HonestPet can set up an in-person visit before your Dachshund heads to Georgia.
A flat $799 to any Georgia airport we serve. Your puppy rides in the cabin in a soft carrier at the nanny's feet, never in cargo, so summer heat restrictions on checked pets don't apply. The nanny meets you at arrivals and hands your puppy over.

HEALTH FIRST
Dachshunds have their own health considerations, especially their long backs. We’re working toward having all of our breeders complete screening relevant to their breed. Testing varies by parent; ask to review available results for the parents of any puppy you’re considering, and talk with your vet about ongoing care.
Ask about the parents’ back-health history and discuss Dachshund spine care with your vet. Keeping your dog lean, using ramps, and limiting jumping can help protect their back; a screening result is not a guarantee against future back problems.
Ask which eye examinations or genetic testing results are available for the parents of your puppy. Results and screening coverage vary by parent, so review the individual records rather than assuming every dog has had the same tests.
Ask about any available veterinary findings for the parents’ knees and movement. Your own vet can check your puppy’s gait and joints and help you choose exercise that suits their short legs and long back.
Review any available heart-screening records with our team and your vet. Parent results vary; ask what was checked, when it was checked, and what the findings mean for the puppy you are considering.
Small dogs need regular dental care. Ask your vet about your puppy’s teeth and bite, and introduce gentle tooth brushing early. Ongoing dental care remains important after the puppy’s first exam.
Each puppy’s listing identifies the DNA testing status of both mom and dad. Ask to review the available parent health and genetic records before reserving a puppy; testing is not identical across every breeder or parent.
Every puppy headed to Georgia gets a full exam from a licensed vet before departure: heart and lungs, eyes, ears, teeth, and skin, plus a careful look at the spine, hips, and gait in a breed with a back this long. The vet issues a health certificate for interstate travel, and the exam goes into the puppy's digital records for your Georgia vet.
Each puppy is current on core vaccines for their age and dewormed on a regular schedule since their first weeks. Your vet will finish the series, including the rabies shot Georgia requires by 3 months, start heartworm and flea prevention since Georgia's warm climate keeps both active year-round, and talk you through Dachshund back care: keep them lean, add a ramp to the couch, and skip the jumping. Every puppy is microchipped, and we'll help you register the chip in your name.
QUESTIONS ANSWERED
Prices vary by puppy. See each available puppy’s listing for the current price, and ask our team to explain the total before reserving. Every puppy comes with a vet exam, age-appropriate vaccinations, deworming, a microchip, digital records, lifetime training and support, and free ground delivery to your home.
Yes. Most families choose free ground delivery to their door. Flight nanny delivery is also available into Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson, Savannah/Hilton Head, Augusta, Columbus, and Albany, depending on route and availability, and a Miniature Dachshund puppy fits easily in an in-cabin carrier.
Yes. Smooth, longhaired, and wirehaired Dachshunds all shed, and their grooming needs differ. No dog is fully hypoallergenic. If allergies are a concern, talk with our team about the individual puppy and coat type before deciding.
Miniature Dachshunds weigh 11 pounds or less fully grown. Our Miniature Dachshunds typically finish between 8 and 11 pounds; review the individual puppy’s estimated adult size with our team.
Your puppy comes home with a starter bag of food, a blanket that smells like their littermates, a toy, microchip details, and a digital copy of their vet and vaccine records.
Pick an available puppy then send us an inquiry. After we talk, a $349 deposit holds your puppy. The balance is due before go-home day.
Parent testing varies by breeder and by dog. Review the available DNA testing status and health records for the puppy’s mom and dad with our team. Every puppy receives a veterinary exam, age-appropriate vaccinations, deworming, and a microchip before going home; your vet can help you plan ongoing Dachshund back and joint care.
Each breeder may have a different preferred puppy food, so we provide the specific brand and formula your puppy is currently eating to help make the transition to your home as smooth as possible. If you decide to switch foods, we recommend transitioning gradually to help avoid digestive upset.
Our puppies go home at 8 weeks old.

GEORGIA QUESTIONS
The questions Georgia Dachshund families ask most, from heat and pollen to county licenses and airport pickups.
Georgia has no statewide ban on pet store puppy sales, so some stores still sell Dachshund puppies, almost always shipped in from large out-of-state kennels. What you won't see is the mother, the home, or the breeder's health testing. HonestPet is not a pet store. We connect Georgia families directly with vetted breeders who raise Dachshunds at home, show you the parents, and deliver to your door.
Yes, with two honest caveats. Minis are small, clean, and content in a Midtown one-bedroom, and they clear every weight limit, breed rule, and pet-rent tier in town. But Dachshunds bark at hallway noise unless you train them early, and their long backs don't love stairs, so favor an elevator building and add a ramp to the couch. In summer, walks happen before 9 and after 7.
Georgia doesn't issue a statewide dog license, but most metro counties do. Fulton, DeKalb, Cobb, Gwinnett, and Clayton each require an annual license or registration tied to a current rabies certificate, and state law requires that rabies vaccine by 3 months. Check your county animal services page for fees and renewal rules.
Once your Dachshund is reserved, HonestPet coordinates the trip from the breeder's home to yours. The puppy gets a final vet check and a travel health certificate, then rides to Georgia in a climate-controlled delivery vehicle or in the cabin with a flight nanny to the airport nearest you. We confirm the schedule with you and send updates along the way.
Flights into Georgia typically run 1 to 2 hours, depending on the breeder's location and which airport you choose. Your Dachshund stays in a carrier at the nanny's feet the entire time and never flies as cargo.
Sometimes, yes. When the breeder's location and schedule allow, HonestPet can arrange a visit so you can meet your puppy, and often the parents, before delivery. Because our breeders are in different areas and we protect their privacy, visits are arranged one family at a time rather than offered as drop-in appointments.
Call us with questions about any puppy, delivery to Georgia, or which Miniature Dachshund would suit your home. We'll set up a video call so you can meet your puppy before you decide.
